Abstract:
In field ecological and behavioural studies, it is often necessary to identify specific individuals. In birds, colour rings are frequently used to mark individuals; however, rings are often difficult to observe, especially in small species and dense habitats. Acoustic-based monitoring detecting individuals by their characteristic vocalization is a potentially suitable alternative, but this approach is challenging in species with complex songs. On the example of the Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis), a small migratory passerine often singing in flight or from perches obscured by foliage, we demonstrate that acoustic monitoring based on the syllable repertoire can be very efficient tool for individual recognition. During a 3-year study, we obtained over 500 recordings from males from one study population (a number of them returning after winter). Males banded with colour rings were repeatedly recorded throughout the seasons, and syllable repertoires were determined from spectrograms for each recording. The ... : recording and male repertoires, coded songsThe file in MS Excel format containing three sheets: 1: male repertoires: each line represent a single Tree Pipit males from the studied locality; for each of them, the following information is provided: the total number of song recordings available, the number of syllables and bi-syllables detected in the male's repertoire, and presence/absence of each syllable and bi-syllable type. 2: recording repertoires: each line represent a single recording of Tree Pipit songs; for each of them, the following information is provided: male identity (as in the first sheet), code of the recording, year and date of recording, number of songs within a recording, availability of observation data on colour rings, the number of syllables and bi-syllables detected within the recording, and presence/absence of each syllable and bi-syllable type. 3: coded songs: each line represent a single Tree Pipit song for which the syllable sequence was noted; for each of them, the following ...
